How to Remove a Device from the Movies & TV app in Windows 10

In today’s article, we will guide you on how to remove a device from the Movies & TV app in Windows 10. Nowadays, people prefer to watch movies by renting and purchasing online so that they can watch the movie as per their convenience and not necessarily in one single stretch.

For Windows users, the Movies & TV application is an inbuilt system application that allows them to either buy or else rent movies and even TV shows from within the application. The Movies & TV app in Windows 10 features some of the best and latest movies and TV shows to choose from and the collection is regularly updated so that you do not miss any of the latest movie releases or TV show episodes.

Apart from the High Definition HD content that is offered within the application, another benefit of using the Movies & TV app for Windows is that once you purchase content from within the application, you can download the same content on multiple devices including your Windows PC, Windows tablet, Windows Phone or Xbox. However, in case you choose to rent the content, then you are restricted to play the content only on the device on which you rented them.

Even though you can enjoy downloaded content on multiple Windows devices and can connect multiple Windows-based devices of yours to the same Movies & TV app account, if you connect a maximum of 5 different devices, then at times some random error or restriction may popup, especially when you choose to rent content and in order to solve the error, you will need to remove connection to at least one of the connected devices.
